Hello Friends, I wanted to announce the launch of a new Pakistani book that I feel you may be interested in. I hope I am posting in the right spot, I could not find an appropriate space for books. Please let me know if I am breaking any rules.
“Obscure Women Obscure Stories - A Pakistani Trilogy” is available for download on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch:

OWOS is also now available for download on your kindle:
Obscure Women Obscure Stories: A Pakistani Trilogy: Parveen Talpur: Amazon.com: Kindle Store
OWOS has been critically acclaimed by several world authors including Francis De Pontes Peebles, Amjed Qamar and Kirsten Wasson.
Here is a description of the book:
As democracy ushers in a new era in Pakistan, Wadero Ali Khan, in the heat of his campaign, is faced with a controversial issue. He finds a unique solution to the problem that is more scandalous than the problem itself.
“Where is my fortune,” a young Bhaag Bhari asks. “It’s all around you. The desert is your fortune,” she is told. Luck always comes to Bhaag Bhari in strange ways and she must pay the price of every gift that comes her way.
Bina whips up interest in her Pakistani cooking classes in a small college town in upstate New York. But the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers change everything.
Obscure Women Obscure Stories reveals a Pakistan beyond the monotonous day-to-day straight reporting of its military and political developments. The three stories set in different time periods and geographical locales weave the past and present through an engaging narrative that grips the reader with crisp dialog, intriguing plot points - and the vulnerability of women in hostile surroundings.
From thunderous political rallies and rustic remote shrines, to the inner world of surreal sufi experiences and the household of a landlord politician, Obscure Women Obscure Stories takes the readers on a spectacular journey across the landscape of time and space.
I hope you download the book, and if you find it engaging, please share with your friends on your social media channels (facebook, twitter, linkedin). Your support for writing from Pakistan, that is different from the norm, will be hugely appreciated. I will keep you all posted on your efforts.
Thanks so much.
